Oil Pressure.....
Lately, My oil pressure gauge (stock) has been at little above 2 when I am off of the gas. When I am on it and when i just start the car, its a little above 4, but, it takes longer for it to drop. Isnt the oil pressure suposed to be a little above 1 when your are not on the gas? Could this rise be a caused by my recent LR bov install?

I have an '86 951 which came with a 3-piece oil-pressure relief valve. When doing the seals I upgraded to the 1-piece valve ($230). At startup I'm about 4.5 bar, under full throttle I'm about the same and after its warmed up it sits at about 3bar at idle. BTW your car came with the 1-piece valve. Your new BOV shouldn't affect your oil pressure, but I could be wrong on that.
